Hi again.
Second, and almost certainly my last, post on this forum, and this time I'm definitely NOT asking for your assistance.
Number 9, I exempt from any criticism.
Obviously I made a major error in asking the Toon Army for help, although it was more out of naivety than stupidity, as I was under the misguided impression that football fans anywhere would help other football fans out. WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS.
The bile and abuse was directed not only at Rangers, but more because I am Scottish, and that is what surprised me most. I used to work in Saudi Arabia, and the overwhelming majority of Brits that I encountered were of the 'English' variety. For years I had to listen to, and put up with, things like "The Queen of England", "The future King of England", "English passports", "The Prime Minister of England", and my personal favourite [NOT] "England's North Sea oil", without showing disrespect, even though they are all disrespectful to me. I think you call it 'dignity' - something you slack-jawed, knuckle dragging, brave keyboard warriors seem to lack.
